I've been playing with FP1.10 for the last couple of days, and am having 2 issues.

1) It seems like the default device used by FP for playback via Windows Media Player 10 on Windows XP is the Windows Sounds Audio device (specified under WMP->Tools->Devices->Speakers->Advanced->Audio) as opposed to the Media Player Sound playback device (specified under WMP->Tools->Devices->Speakers).

This is problematic for me since I ideally want to keep these as different devices for various reasons (I specify my directsound output as the WMP Sound playback device through my high-end M-Audio sound card, and specify my Windows Sounds Audio device (through which windows beeps, etc., play) as my On-board Audio card. This also allows me to pipe my GPS software voice directions to a very small speaker position near my ear, while my music plays through the car speakers. To get FP to play through my high-end card, then, I am forced to switch everything over to that card, which isn't optimal but does work.

2) However, when I do this, the volume control buttons on the skin don't work and I cannot hear anything. When I manually start up the windows volume control, I find that FP sets the volume to 0 on startup, and the only way to raise the volume is to use the windows volume control since the skin buttons don't work.

Is there a way to (a) Tell FP to use the specified WMP output device, rather than the Windows Sounds device (b) Assign the FP volum buttons to the correct mixer?
